Edu Gasper has left Arsenal and it is now official. His departure has been confirmed on the offical Arsenal website. The Brazilian will leave Gunners with rich legacy and to sum it up, here are the top 5 signings he made.
Edu is an Arsenal legend who was part of the squad that went invincible. He rejoined the club in 2019 as their first ever technical director. In 2022, he became the club’s first ever sporting director.
In this time, Edu has done a remarkable job at Arsenal. He formed a very good relationship with Mikel Arteta and the duo has transformed Gunners into title challenging team. Over the years, Edu made some best signings that are now the key components of the squad.
Top 5 Arsenal signings made by Edu Gasper
First in the list is none other than Martin Odegaard who was first brought on loan from Real Madrid. Odegaard impresses with his performances and hence Gunners opted to pay Madrid £34 million for him. Odegaard has been worth of every penny as he is their creative mastermind now. In addition, he has been elected as the club captain.
Second in the list has to be Gabriel Magalhaes. Edu paid only £27 million for Gabriel which seems like a bargain right now. Gabriel joined Gunners in 2020 and now is one of the best defenders in the world.
Third in the list is the club record signing Declan Rice. Edu and co raised eyebrows of many when they decided to pay £105 for the former West Ham midfielder. Rice is now the integral part of Arsenal and the team struggles without him.
Fourth in the list is Ben White for whom Edu paid £50 million. White joined the club in 2021 as a centre back. But Arteta has transformed him into right back and White is currently the first choice fullback.
Last in the list is Leandro Trossard who was brought as an replacement for Mudryk who snubbed Arsenal and joined Chelsea. Gunner paid £27 million for Trossard and the Belgian has repaid by performing at the crucial moments.
To begin with, these signings suggest that how good Edu was at his job and now Arsenal have a big task on their hands to find his perfect replacement. In addition, they will always have to be grateful for the superstars signed by Edu.
